Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3659 W Montrose Ave in Chicago's Irving Park neighborhood, constructed in 1951 and currently owned by A Hugel Royal GT, has a relatively minimal record of documented issues over the past seven years. The property has one open building code violation as of January 2025, stemming from a complaint-driven inspection, which represents the only building violation on record during this period. The building's history of 311 service requests is somewhat more extensive, with six reports filed between 2024 and 2026. These requests include complaints about pushcart food vendors (two incidents in May 2026), street and alley potholes (January and November 2025 respectively), graffiti (January 2026), and a rodent issue (July 2024), all of which have been closed. While most of these complaints were resolved, it's worth noting that the open building code violation from early 2025 is the only unresolved issue on record.

Risk rating

How 3659 W Montrose Ave's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of Chicago code enforcement data — building violations, 311 complaint history, environmental enforcement, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that the City of Chicago will find a code violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
